Better SEO ?

Hello

I’m using this plugin for a while now and I found out that it is not very SEO friendly. Do you intend to make this plugin SEO friendly one day ?

The aim is to get url like http://website.com/photos/name-of-the-photo/ instead of http://www.website.com/photos/?occur=1&album=*%20Name%20Of%20%C3%A0%20Album%20*&photo=name-of-the-photo.jpg

The URL really looks ugly and google does not like this.

Make sure:
Table IV-A3: Photo names in urls is UNchecked.
Table IV-A6: Enable pretty links is checked.
I will fix in the next rev that with these settings all the urls in og: metatags are ‘pretty’ and without version.

The problem is that http://website.com/photos/name-of-the-photo/ is not distinguisheable from http://website.com/photos/name-of-the-subpage/

Thank you, but it still looks not very SEO friendly.

Why not create a URL like http://website.com/photos/name-of-the-album/name-of-the-photo/

And if two photos have the same name, just generate a -2 at the end of the url ? Like this http://website.com/photos/name-of-the-album/name-of-the-photo-2/

Just a suggestion to make this plugin even better. AVOID the %20% and replace it by –

Thanks anyway.

You can not link to an album or a photo, you can only link to a page, that possibly shows an album and/or a (collection of) photo(s).

There is a tool to create a page for every photo (Table IV-A10:Autopage and Table VIII-B10: Create all autopages), you browse through an album, but every photo requires a new page to be loaded. Not very userfriendly, but then you have clean urls.

How do i distinguish First second from First-second?

There are also performance reasons to make it not too complicated.
